It turns out that we may not all have the rules of Monopoly down after all

But while we’ve all played Monopoly countless times, it turns out that we haven’t all been playing it according to the game’s rules.

An obscure Monopoly law has sent Brits into a frenzy, and it completely changes the way the board game is meant to be played.

One frustrated player started an intense argument with a tweet reading: “When someone lands on a property in #Monopoly & they don’t buy it, IT GOES TO AUCTION for any player to buy. IT. IS. IN. THE. RULES.”

If there’s one thing we Brits love to argue about, it’s Monopoly, but despite some initial resistance, it turns out that the auction rule is totally legit.
